A Bit of Christmas This and That.....

I was recently notified by NEPA Blogs, a website that features local Bloggers living in Northeastern Pa., that my Christmas Blog, A Debbie-Dabble Christmas, would be featured as Blog of the Week , both on the site and also on the local NBC affiliate WBRE's daily show PA Live!

I am so very flattered and humbled by this honor...

This is December 18th's post on NEPA Blogs....

PA Live! Blog of the Week: A Debbie-Dabble Christmas

NEPA Blogs will be presenting a "Blog of the Week" on the WBRE'sPA Live! every Tuesday.PA Live! airs weekday afternoons on WBRE from 4:00 to 5:00.

Our PA Live! Blog of the Week this week is A Debbie-Dabble Christmas (http://adebbie-dabblechristmas.blogspot.com/).Debbie Dabble is a local crafter and bon vivant who loves Christmas. A lot. She has one blog all about crafting, decorating, and things that interest her, but A Debbie-Dabble Christmas focuses
exclusively on Christmas. And it's updated year-round! Her blog is
filled with photos of ornaments, decorations, figurines, collectibles,
wreaths, and more trees than you can imagine. If I were looking at this
stuff in person I would be afraid to move for fear of knocking over
something, or a lot of somethings. But with A Debbie-Dabble Christmas you can view it all on her blog from the safety of your computer!Lots of people have hobbies. Lots
of people like to decorate. Lots of people like to collect things. And
lots of people love Christmas. But some people take it to the extreme -
and then are good enough to share the results with the rest of us. Maybe
you won't wind up decorating your house quite as elaborately as this,
but A Debbie-Dabble Christmas is still a fun place to visit!If
you have a blog you would like us to link on NEPA Blogs, or know of a
blog you think we should link, please let us know! You can always drop
us a line at nepablogs@gmail.com!

I want to THANK NEPA Blogs and PA LIVE for this honor....

So ARE YOU READY FOR CHRISTMAS???????

Lo and Behold...I AM!!

Even though I was running really late this year , I managed to.......

Display 19 Christmas trees this year!! 2 more than last year....

I honestly do not know how that happened ......LOL!

I also finally finished posting my Christmas Home Tour 2012.

To take the Tour, please click HERE and then click on the link to the next Part at the end of each post until I have taken you through all 7 Parts......and the downstairs and the upstairs of our home.......

I also baked 4 different types of cookies and made fudge in one day!

Already had a small group of friends over ...

Here are a few pictures...
I say a few because we always forget to take them when we have company....
I took the easy way out and we ordered pizza and stromboli.....

So I set a very informal table......

I used my red transferware and my ruby red glasses and cups and saucers....

Just waiting for the pizza to be delivered....

We enjoyed having our friends over....

Anne Marie with Joe.....

Our Friends Sue and Anne Marie.....

Joe.......

Yikes!

I should have not given the camera to Joe......

Sorry, no more pics of this day ......

Then we held an Open House for our friends from our church.......

Sorry, I don't have any pics because it was very hectic with close to 15 people coming through out the 4 hours of our Open House.....

I usually use dishes but I have been flying by on a wing and prayer this year so I opted to take the easy way out.....

I sent out all 75 of my Christmas cards!!

I made wreaths that people ordered and I still have 2 more to do....

This last week before Christmas, Joe is spreading a bit of Christmas cheer while delivering the mail on his route wearing his Christmas Hat........

Here he is coming home after a long day....

Joe begs to argue with the fact that they say Mail delivery is down....

He has delivered more mail and packages than he ever has in one week.....

He does look a bit drained , now doesn't he????

I have also been doing some tweaking around the house.....

Yes, I do have a pink house like this in my Craft Room but I had another one in my storage shed. When they were on clearance after Christmas at Target several years ago for a mere $5.00, I had bought several as gifts and had this one left so I thought it would look nice in the Dining Room......

What did I do with the white church that was there....

I moved it here and arranged the shelves a bit.....

This is my new Thomas Kinkade Pink Lady....

I am enrolled in the series.....

See those cute candy trees??? The Dollar Tree!!

I looked at the bows that I had on the corner of my porch railing originally.........

I realized that I had had them for many years and that I didn't even make them!! I bought them at a flea market and they were looking a bit worse for wear.....

I saw these bells in the Dollar Tree and switched the bows for the bells.....

Not bad for a total of 5 bucks, huh?

You can see that we are ready for the winter ice and snow by the things on the front porch......

Also the poinsettia pot was looking a bit ratty in the wooden reindeer planter and I found a nice one at our church Flea Market for $2.00 so I also switched that one out......

I put this fine gentlemen also outside on the front porch....

I added battery operated LED branches to this arrangement in the Living Room.....

Nice , huh???

I added a plaque that I made to my mirror in the Living Room....

It 's the one in the middle , flanked by 2 ornaments....

Also added some ornaments that I also made to the LR Tree....

Joe bought me 2 cute Santa mugs....

And here they are with a gift I received.....

An Jar Candle with a Santa Head glue to the top.......

Almost all of Christmas is now 50% off at Big Lots.

I found bright pink ornaments there for my white tree...

See the icicles.....

Bright pink icicles and stars.....

20 icicles for $2.00 and 5 stars for $2.00!!

They do have other colors there too......

No wrapping presents for me!!!

We give money rather than gifts so I truly had no gifts to buy so I get to avoid all that holiday shopping madness!!

Your home is full of dazzling sparkly beauty and I think there is creativity flowing from your finger tips. Congratulations on being featured, you deserve the honor.Love the wreath you made with blue and silver.Merry Christmas season.
